Tx very much to all, you are a very big help!
Tx for the advice Kendo, but it seems that Intel® Core™ i7-2600K is not DDR3-1600 compatible.

Looks good, I have a similar spec.

My SSD seems to help with the stutters, at least I don't get them and did not on day one release of IL2 CoD, it certainly helps with loading stuff quicker, if you can afford it ... why not.

Enjoy.

I've only HDD and I've never experienced stutter in CoD, fore sure SSD will improve loading time but it can make a RAID with HDD and use the saved money for a better graphics card

Actually, i'm sure that it is - i'm using DDR3-1600 memory with my i5-2500K.

I do recall seeing some confusing info that suggested 1333 was the fastest I could use without overclocking, but that turned out to be due to limitations of certain motherboards rather than the Sandy Bridge cpus. My Asus P8P67 runs DDR3-1600 at stock settings and I could easily plug in a i7-2600K if I wanted. :)

One additional piece of advice is to get 1.5V memory for Sandy Bridge rather than 1.65V - ensures the CPU is running at correct settings and helpful if you overclock.

Edit: Did some reading - officially the SBs are in fact only rated for up to DDR3-1333 memory, BUT...they can run 1600 and higher. Tests done by custom PC magazine (UK) found benefits from running 1600 over 1333 (a few fps in some games) but no real benefit from going for 1800 or 2133. Hope this all makes sense. :)

I've got quite similiar question.
My current PC is not bad, but since I put it together myself and do not overclock it might get better. Also, you might have some valuable input on what to change in the future to get CoD run smooth and get max out of it. He're the spec, feel free to berate / comment in any way. Thanks!

Looks pretty good to me.

Only thing might be to consider overclocking the processor.

I've heard differing opinions on benefit of 8GB ram, so not sure whether it is really worthwhile at the moment.

Best probably to sit tight and wait for the patches to improve things.

There's no benefit going beyond 4GB of RAM in CoD
